(MusicMusic.com) If someone told you it would take over ten years and ten albums (which you had to pay for yourself!) before scoring a major record label, would you still follow your dream of being a rapper? Or would you quit and get what your parents call a “real job”? Thankfully, Classified chose the former.

Watch about this Friday's Born to Be on Music Music in the video below.

Canada’s very own Nova Scotia rapper is a textbook case of hard work paying off in the end. Classified is living proof that you should always follow your heart, while still using your head. So the lesson of the day here is that if you have a dream, make a plan and stick to it until you get what you want. It may take a year, it may even take ten, but never quit.
